Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.

Read this book: If You Meet Buddha on The Road, Kill Him,
by Sheldon Koop, because:

Removing the head of Priest of Old Audio Testament

The cosmology of the Old Testament was based on an existential
bogusity: a view of the audio universe that has the audio reviewer in the
position of the ego-centric Sun. Sun worshipping is an ancient religion and
still is practiced on bikini clad beaches all over the world but this inaccurate
view of the cosmos is obsolete..

For three decades everyone manufacturers, retailers and
consumers revolved around the Sun God/audio review. This model is lethal
and why atrophy, fear and boredom rules the Old Testament of the audio arts.

Who rightly belongs at the center of the audio cosmos? YOU,
the Gifted Listener. It is time for to move to the center of the audio cosmos,
and displace the audio reviewer.

(NOTE: Don't worry about what audio reviewers will do
with their time after they are displaced. There is an enormous demand for
men who can express their creative feelings about brown paper bags)

YOU BELONG IN THE CENTER OF THE AUDIO
UNIVERSE BECAUSE: (1) your adventure
of discovery is far more exciting than boring audio reviews (2) the audio
arts exist to serve your need to get as musically high as possible, (3) you
are the only authority on your ecstasy which is as unique and eccentric as
your signature. (4) your trip of discovery is much more interesting than boring,
boring, boring audio reviews.

SHALL I SAY THIS ANOTHER WAY?: THE
HIGHEST WISDOM ABOUT THE AUDIO ARTS IS YOUR COLLECTIVE WISDOM..AND NOW IT
IS YOUR TRIBAL RESPONSIBILITY TO INSPIRE YOUR BROS'.

Do you have any sense of how FEAR
rather than INSPIRATION is the operating principal of the Old Audio
Testament, and how moving you to the center transforms this negative dynamic?

Does it surprise you that I am describing the universe of the
Japanese audiomaniac? How soon will this revolution reach maturity? At the
speed of your boredom with the obsolete model, and at the intensity of your
desire for deeper ecstasy.

I READ THIS LIST ONCE A DAY

From, If You Meet Buddha on The Road, Kill Him, by Sheldon
Koop,

An Eschatological Laundry List:

This is it!

There are no hidden meanings.

You can't get there from here, and besides, there is nowhere else to go.

We are all already dying, and we will be dead for a very long time.

Nothing lasts.

There is no way of getting all you want.

You can't have anything unless you let go of it.

You only get to keep what you give away.

There is no particular reason why you lost out on some things.

The world is not necessarily just. Being good does not pay off and there
is no compensation for misfortune.

You have a responsibility to do your best none-the-less.

It is a random universe to which we bring order.

You don't really control anything.

You can't make anyone love you.

No one is any stonger or any weaker than anyone else.

Everyone is, in their own way, vulnerable.

There are no great men.

If you have a hero, look again, you've diminished yourself in some way.

Everyone lies, cheats, and pretends. -

All evil is potential vitality in need of transformation

All of you is worth something if only you will own it.

Progress is an illusion.

Evil can be displaced, but never eradicated, and all solutions breed new
problems.

Yet, it is necessary to keep on struggling towards solutions.

Childhood is a nightmare.

Each of us is, ultimately, alone.

The most important things, each man must do for himself.

Love is not enough, but it sure helps things.

We have only ourselves and one another. That may not be much' but that
is all there is.

How strange, that every so often, it all seems worth it.

We must live with the ambiguity of partial freedom, partial powers, and
partial knowledge

All important decisions must be made on the basis of insufficient data.

Yet we are responsible for everything we do.

No excuses will be accepted.

You can run, but you can not hide.

It is most important to run out of scapegoats.

We must learn the power of living with our helplessness.

The only victory lies in surrender to oneself.

All of the significant battles are waged within the self.

You are free to do whatever you like, you need only face the consequences.
